Today we reflected about the forgiveness meditation instructions of Bhante Vimalaramsi from last week, and how we made use of them in everyday life in the last week. We did that privately in our Zoom session only, then opened the guided meditation to all on YouTube.

We’re honored to be having Bhante Vimalaramsi visit our session today, exactly six months after his first visit to the High Country Meditators. We’re learning from him how to do forgiveness meditation correctly, a powerful tool to forgive ourselves, others, and lift burdens off our shoulders to live happily.

A little while ago, I sat in meditation as the memory of a friend from the past kept coming up, along with how I had hurt her with my words and actions. When we sit in meditation and our mind settles down, it is inevitable that this kind of defilement, namely regret, remorse, guilt, is going to come up.

What is the state of your emotional and mental health? What burdens are you carrying? What hurts and pains have you yet to transmute into love? What have you learnt about your self and your life journey this year? Let's get a status report, let's take inventory to understand what is going on.
